March 12, 2022 - Rhone night with friends at Wink. Three hour double decant was sufficient to allow settling into what is now a finesse wine. No longer the brute taking a day to settle down. Multilayered dark fruit, meat, and hint of blood. Lighter on its feet than previous bottles. Truly special.

February 6, 2022 - Super Bowl 2022 (Alpharetta, GA): Reddish violet; big, ripe, figgy, raspberry, nori, cobbler, ripe round and ready, very Chateauneuf-like as several others noted, a bit too big and ripe for me; called '07 Mon Aieul.

February 6, 2022 - Super Bowl 2022 (Alpharetta, GA): Unblinded. Showing where it is from with classic old world Syrah nose & flavor profile. Young & fresh, but drinking great now but this will continue to get better in the bottle.

December 6, 2021 - (from 3L) Still a crazy bottle - tons of mango and raspberry coulis on the nose still. On the palate - it's a bit of a moody teenager. Trick question is: do you wait for the development and hope you don't lose the distinctive tropical notes, or do you pop them now for the mind bending new-world/old-world thing?
Edit. On Day 4 from a recorked a half full bottle: incredible sweet fruit. There's your answer. Leave them 20 years. Wow. -

November 30, 2021 - Drinking great right now. Drank over a few hours - evolved in the glass. Incredible nose - great wine.
